6/5

Iffraaj filly out of a Bahri mare. Half-sister to Group 2 winner, Shamreen and Shahroze successful at Group 3 level in Canada. Promising third of 19 on debut at Cork earlier this month and expected to improve.

Shona Mea

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

11/2

Daughter of Droagon Pulse out of a Acclamation mare. Dam won between 7f and 1m. Market likely to reveal expectations on debut for yard with a 23% strike rate with their juveniles this term.

1/1

Daughter of Intense Focus out of a Teofilo mare. Half-sister to Fior Cliste winner over 7f. Dam winner between 7f and 1m2½f. Not disgraced in a couple of early defeats this month and not one to be putting a line through.

Form: 84

Susan's Pride¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rory Cleary| T: A Keatley

50/1

Filly by Lilbourne Lad out of a Iffraaj mare. Dam four-race maiden. Look vulnerable on debut at Roscommon earlier this month and unlikely to be troubling the judge here.

Form: 7

(3)

Take My Hand²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: M Mulvany

25/1

Daughter of Tough As Nails. A sister to 6f-7f winner My Silver Nails, out of a 1m winner whose dam won a bumper. Yet to finish in front of any rival in a couple of dour career efforts so far.

Form: 80

Forecasts

Soineanta (1/1), Shehreen (6/5), Shona Mea (11/2), Take My Hand (25/1), Saphiri (33/1), Susan's Pride (50/1), Dashing Diamond (100/1)

The Dermot Weld trainer, Aga Khan owned, SHEHREEN can land the spoils here continuing the fine run of form for the yard. The duo landed a double over the weekend at Leopardstown and the Curragh and can win here at the expense of the Jessica Harrington-trained debutante' Shona Mea and potential improver, Soineanta for trainer Jim Bolger.
